Vscode will not autofocus on integrated terminal while running code

When I run without debugging in python on vscode it no longer autofocuses on the terminal forcing me to click into the terminal everytime to input data. Is there any solution to cause vscode to autofocus when code is running?

    4. Click on, When launching a python terminal, whether to focus the cursor on the terminal.
    5. A check mark should appear in the tick box.
